A nurse is leading an in-service about legal issues. Which of the following examples should the nurse use to demonstrate an incidence of negligence?

A. A nurse administers the wrong medication to a client. – This is an example of negligence, as it represents a failure to follow the standard of care, potentially causing harm to the client. Nurses are expected to follow the "five rights" of medication administration to prevent errors. B. A nurse applies wrist restraints to a client in violation of the facility's restraint use policy. – This is an example of false imprisonment, not negligence, as it involves restricting a client’s movement without proper justification. C. A nurse touches a client in an offensive manner. – This is an example of battery, which is the intentional act of touching someone without their consent in a harmful or offensive way. D. A nurse shares information about a client with family members without the client's consent. – This is an example of a breach of confidentiality, violating HIPAA regulations.
